Cloverleafing-
When the cyl l.o. has inadequate acid neutralising properties for the fuel being burnt or if there is insufficient quantity of oil injected then cloveleafing can occur
This is basically regions of corrosive wear midway between the quills and upwards towards the top of the liner. These areas may be visible due to the corrosive effect and they are cloverleaf shaped.
Eventually the rings become unsupported in these areas, gas builds up on the front face and the ring is subject to collapse.
